This is the back-story of one of the characters in the next book, the Talent Seekers. It is dedicated to my Facebook friend Blackbird Jury, who is the real Glory’s dad. Glory huddled in the corner of the attic. The
OK, EVERYONE, I NEED HELP. I’ve always called Humphrey’s story The Way West, even promoted it as such in the paperback, but I find not one, but TWO books came out in October and December, with the same title. Different
